You're confusing common knowledge and arrogance. They aren't mutually exclusive of course... but I hope you can see how you addressed my point with a completely different topic. This is a good example of why forums don't foster critical thinking. You need to do it on your own. (Also, be humble in that process... thats needed.)

Wow you're delusional

again, just because you can't see a different metanarrative... doesn't mean everyone else is delusional. Also again, an internet comment is a short bit of text that focuses and gets filtered by your previous beliefs and interactions. This is the worst medium I can think of to foster critical thinking and accurately evaluating other world views. There is a reason circle jerks are so common.

That doesn't happen by an internet comment. Just letting you all know that your confusion and your questions are all easily answered.

This concept of God's role in life and death is not a new subject. It has literally been questioned and answered for thousands of years. Don't think that simply quoting it now will shed a fantastic new light that everyone else is too blind to see. Thinking otherwise is actually quite arrogant

Not at all actually. That's precisely what I was referring to. The post didn't bring up any point at all. It merely showed an image of a billboard with a single verse on it. One that, when taken out of context, portrays God in a merciless light. When in reality, God is love and mercy. As I have said... this has been the conclusion for thousands of years and that verse has not changed.

Where the circle jerk mentality comes in... is the rejection of thousands of years of analysis. It's shared arrogance with /r/atheism was an accurate and easily spotted correlation by RedBlue-Orangetoo.

"well, maybe this one person can do it..."

This is an excellent example! Thank you for stating it so I didn't have to talk about hypotheticals. This is a prime example of a different metanarrative. Your worldview (I'm assuming) consists of a belief that there is no God. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). However, this argument is not whether or not there is a god... but rather is that God a merciful God or not. In order to answer that you must presuppose that there is a god. And in doing so, you would be placing a higher power above mankind. And therefore it is no longer "well, maybe this one person can do it...".

Can you see how your different presumptions change how you address these basic concepts? If you presuppose there is a god, then you would place Him higher than man. Man's mere existence is to glorify Him and our life is literally meaningless without Him. All of existence only holds value because of the reflection that it is towards Him. <-- that's a very different world view than what you hold, no?

Hopefully you can see this from different perspectives. Currently, many in this thread place themselves as an equal to God. Obviously, by doing that, you will be confused. So don't think that we are idiots because we have thought this through farther than you have. That only hurts yourself.

~edit~ he said r/pics is not suited for being used to do score-making for r/atheism, I replied as seen then he replied that it was merely a picture of text and not in the spirit of r/pics, after which I agreed that was a fair point, seeing it is and all, then he deleted stuff though, not helped by his fair point being downvoted by a few people :/

Lesson is that you could calm down a bit on the downvotes sometimes, and perhaps reply if you disagree instead.
